Watch President Obama Try Dancing The Tango

💃

While on a diplomatic trip to Argentina on Wednesday, Obama made a valiant attempt at the country's signature dance: the tango.

According to a White House pool report, the president and first lady Michelle Obama were quite enamored by a pair of dancers' performance at the state dinner held in their honor on Wednesday evening, with Argentinian President Mauricio Macri describing the dance as they watched.

The dancers then invited the Obamas to join the fun. Despite some initial hesitancy from the president, the Obamas took their places on the dance floor, with the president pairing up with the female dancer and the first lady joining the male dancer.
